    The bodies of the (digitized) body : experiences of sexual(ised) work on OnlyFans
    (SMID - Society of Media researchers In Denmark, 2021) Cardoso, Daniel; Scarcelli, Cosimo Marco; CICANT (FCT) - Centro de Investigação em Comunicação Aplicada, Cultura e Novas Tecnologias
    OnlyFans has enjoyed increasing attention from media and from users and consumers, especially since the start of the covid-19 pandemic, and particularly amongst internet- savy emerging adults. We used semi-structured interviews to collect testimonies from young Italian women (N=20) who sell their own sexual(ised) content on OnlyFans and processed them through Thematic Analysis (Braun & Clarke 2006). Through this process, we sought to explore how different bodies are conceptualized in relation to content production, and how labour takes somatic existence in multiple ways. We looked at (1) how the body is prepared to be presented and mediatized, (2) how its presentation is conceptualized and actualized, and (3) how that work of re-presentation, as a work of networking and therefore where bodily energy is invested and expended. Through this, we show how there are multiple, concurrent and at times contradictory, narratives about corporality, and that potency and healing coexist alongside exhaustion.

    Constructing sexual victimization: A thematic analysis of reader responses to a literary female-on-male rape story on Goodreads
    (Edições Universitárias Lusófonas, 2023) Tselenti, Danai; Cardoso, Daniel; Carvalho, Joana; CICANT (FCT) - Centro de Investigação em Comunicação Aplicada, Cultura e Novas Tecnologias
    Τhe aim of this study was to provide a detailed understanding of unprompted audience responses to a literary story of female-on-male rape on Goodreads. Thematic analysis of 429 reviews revealed 6 key themes and 12 sub-themes, which evolved around appraising the social function of the book, evaluating its literary features, assessing the depiction of female-on-male rape especially in terms of its perceived realism, as well as around a variety of explicitly emotional and cognitive responses. The aesthetic features of the story proved to be of particular importance for shaping reader engagement. Reflective elaborations on the female rapist were found to constitute a marginal response pattern. Findings identified the existence of an overarching cognitive schema that construes sexual victimization as feminized and is linked to a tripartite pattern of comprehending female on- male rape (female-focused, gender-inclusive, gender-neutral). The study highlights the persistence of gendered rape myths structured around an "ideal victim" - "ideal offender" paradigm, which however co-exist with alternative responses oriented towards de-gendering sexual victimization. These findings suggest the importance of addressing audience responses in future investigations of female sexual violence (hands-on and hands-off behaviors) and pursuing an interventional agenda of more inclusive conceptualizations of victimization.

    Defining polyamory : a thematic analysis of lay people's definitions
    (Springer New York, 2021) Cardoso, Daniel; Pascoal, Patrícia; Maiochi, Francisco Hertel; CICANT (FCT) - Centro de Investigação em Comunicação Aplicada, Cultura e Novas Tecnologias
    This study aimed to analyze laypeople’s definitions of polyamory and compare definitions presented by people who are not willing to engage in consensual non-monogamy (CNM) and those who are or are willing to be in a CNM relationship. This exploratory qualitative study used data collected from a convenience sample through a web survey, where people answered the question “What does polyamory mean?” We conducted thematic analysis to examine patterns in meaning and used demographic data to compare themes among groups. The final sample comprised 463 participants aged 18–66 years (M = 32.19, SD = 10.02), mostly heterosexual (60%). Of the total sample, 54% were in a monogamous relationship, followed by 21% not in a relationship, and 13% in a non-monogamous relationship. Analysis showed that people define polyamory mostly as a set of behaviors in a relationship, followed by the potential of multiple relationships or feelings for multiple people. Definitions also include emotional, sexual, and ethical aspects. People in CNM relationships are more likely to define polyamory as constituting a potential form of relating, focus more on interpersonal feelings and ethics, and include consent in their definitions than those unwilling to engage in CNM. People in CNM relationships also focus particularly on the non-central role of sex within these relationships, which might challenge assumptions about sexuality in these relationships in clinical and research settings.

    Diversidade relacional e olhares mediáticos : uma década de representações jornalísticas de não-monogamias consensuais em Portugal
    (2021) Cardoso, Daniel; CICANT (FCT) - Centro de Investigação em Comunicação Aplicada, Cultura e Novas Tecnologias
    O contexto dos Direitos Humanos e da cidadania íntima (PLUMMER, 1995) é frequentemente usado para explorar o poliamor (CARDOSO, 2017) e outras formas de relacionamentos alternativos à mono-normatividade (PIEPER; BAUER, 2005). O activismo em torno destes temas tende a seguir de perto a agenda política traçada em primeira instância pela comunidade LGBTQ+, sendo algumas das suas expressões mais visíveis as que se alinham com a conquista de direitos dentro do contexto das democracias liberais (AVIRAM, 2010; AVIRAM; LEACHMAN, 2015; SANTIAGO, 2015). Estudar a forma como as Não-Monogamias Consensuais (NMCs) são representadas na imprensa permite compreender a cobertura do tema, a linguagem usada, os actores sociais mobilizados, e que conceitos são passados para o público em geral. Este artigo apresenta os resultados da análise da cobertura noticiosa sobre NMCs em Portugal, na imprensa escrita, entre 2010 e 2020, através de análise de conteúdo a 238 artigos, e permite compreender que, apesar de o poliamor ter entrado de forma generalizada no vocabulário comum, a agenda mediática parece pouco sensibilizada para com as actividades e publicações de activistas sobre NMCs em Portugal, demonstrando uma limitada capacidade destes em impactar a agenda mediática e contribuindo para um foco individualizante e potencialmente despolitizado. Isto, por sua vez, dificulta a integração da diversidade de orientação relacional como um elemento plenipotenciário da organização de identidades e comunidades íntimas e seus sujeitos como detentores de direitos políticos válidos.

    Sexual fluidity, BDSM and gender: an exploratory study on Portuguese BDSM practitioners
    (Springer, 2023-10-25) Marujo, Catarina; Cardoso, Daniel; Oliveira, Alexandra; CICANT (FCT) - Centro de Investigação em Comunicação Aplicada, Cultura e Novas Tecnologias
    BDSM constitutes a stigmatized form of sexuality in which sexual fluidity may arise. Noting the scarcity of research on these themes in Portugal, we sought to explore and understand sexual fluidity in people who identified themselves as BDSM practitioners, both in the context of so-called ‘vanilla’ sex and BDSM practice. Using a qualitative methodology, we prepared an online questionnaire disseminated on platforms used by BDSM practitioners, having obtained 54 participants. The data were subjected to content analysis and simple statistical analysis. Three themes emerged from the analysis: the importance of gender in both forms of sexuality, the perception and knowledge about sexual fluidity, and the experience of sexual fluidity. It was found that BDSM practitioners are relatively sexually fluid and demonstrate various sexual behaviors discordant with their romantic and sexual attractions. In addition to this, there were multiple justifications regarding the importance of gender when it comes to their attractions. It was also found that men, regardless of sexual identity, are more sexually fluid than women. This study contributes to the knowledge about BDSM and the deconstruction of categories related to gender and sexual identity, and finally, to the normalization of non-normative sexual practices.
